Check out the website www.atasteofthai.com

You can buy rice noodles, curry pastes and stuff that is normally difficult to buy. They also have a bunch of very easy to follow recipes.

I've been buying stuff there and using their recipes and haven't cooked up anything bad yet.

I'm a big fan of pho and one day I decided I was going to make it myself. There's a vietnamese owned corner shop about a block from my old job and I got to know the owner pretty well over 5-6 years. I figured an authentic recipe was much better than anything I'd find online, so I asked him how to make it one day. You would have thought I had just asked him to expalin the history of earth. He grabbed a sheet of paper and starting scribbling in his native language, then handed a full notebook sized sheet of paper to me and said, "you take this to asian store on Niagara Street. They help you." The next night I stopped at his store and he told me I was wasting my time trying to make good pho by myself. It would NEVER be as good as the stuff I was used to, and it would be expensive and time-intensive. He's probably right so I never tried, but I still have that huge recipe somewhere.

nickel nice story. Thanks for sharing~~I'm sure you enjoyed that moment of cultural synergy. I love that stuff.

On Niagara Street there are some wonderful ethnic restaurants. I for the life of me cannot think of the (I know this is off topic a bit) italian restaurant on Niagara Street that makes great pasta' fisolia' (spelling sorry).

THANK YOU !!!! for that website. Excellent stuff. I do like the idea of meatless dishes. We have meat rarely.
